Under System 7.0 on the Macintosh I have created a Postscript file 
which I then uploaded to our DECstation and sent to our Laserwriter IINTX.

Since the Laserwriter hasn't been initialized with a Macintosh, it dies
on special macros in the Postscript file.  I believe these macros are
defined in the included file, AppleDict, and the Laserwriter doesn't 
have AppleDict installed in memory.  Is there a way to include the
AppleDict when creating the postscript file?  Or is there a way to put it
on the DECstation so that the DECstation can initialize the printer?
